Iterative MILP methods for vehicle control problems [PDF]

open access: yes2004 43rd IEEE Conference on Decision and Control (CDC) (IEEE Cat. No.04CH37601), 2004
Mixed integer linear programming (MILP) is a powerful tool for planning and control problems because of its modeling capability and the availability of good solvers. However, for large models, MILP methods suffer computationally. In this paper, we present iterative MILP algorithms that address this issue. We consider trajectory generation problems with

An Extended Model for the UAVs-Assisted Multiperiodic Crowd Tracking Problem

open access: yesComplexity, 2023
The multiperiodic crowd tracking (MPCT) problem is an extension of the periodic crowd tracking (PCT) problem, recently addressed in the literature and solved using an iterative solver called PCTs solver.

MILP models for the Dial-a-ride problem with transfers

open access: yesEURO Journal on Transportation and Logistics, 2021
Automated vehicles are becoming a reality. Expectations are that AVs will ultimately transform personal mobility from privately owned assets to on-demand services. This transformation will enhance the possibility of sharing trips, leading to shared AVs (SAVs).

Optimizing cut order planning: A comparative study of heuristics, metaheuristics, and MILP algorithms

open access: yesInternational Journal of Production Management and Engineering
Cut Order Planning (COP) optimizes production costs in the apparel industry by efficiently cutting fabric for garments. This complex process involves challenging decision-making due to order specifications and production constraints.

Process‐informed co‐optimization of liquid air energy storage and data centers under off‐design thermodynamic operation

open access: yesAIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract The rapid growth of AI data centers (AIDCs) is intensifying stress on power systems and exposing operators to volatile electricity markets. This work develops a process‐informed co‐optimization framework that integrates liquid air energy storage (LAES) with AIDC operation. Unlike black‐box storage models, the proposed formulation captures LAES

Operations Research‐Based Formalisation and Design of Sustainable Reverse Logistics for E‐Waste Supply Chains

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study demonstrates how a profitable, lean, and environmentally responsible e‐waste reverse logistics system can be designed using integrated Operations Research (OR) techniques. Addressing the growing urgency of responsible consumption (UN SDG 12) and the projected rise of the e‐waste sector to USD 137.60 billion by 2029, the research ...

A continuous-time unit-based MILP formulation for the resource-constrained project scheduling problem [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
In the basic resource-constrained project scheduling problem RCPSP, one aims at selecting starting times for the tasks of a project such that the project makespan is minimized and the project schedule is precedence- and resource-feasible.

Energy Flexibilization and Demand Response for a Novel Decentralized Power‐to‐Methanol Process

open access: yesChemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView.
This study presents the results of an optimization framework for the scheduling of a Power‐to‐methanol process coupled with an electrolyser, renewable energy sources and a battery. The optimal dynamic operating schedule is computed with different configurations and boundary conditions, showing the advantages of flexible operation.
